We do not, in this country, hear mon
crying seats meat" In the streets, al
though that is one Of the most familiar Of
London cries. But the manufacture Of
dogs biscuit is carried on, and is quite an
important industry, on both sides of the
Atlantic. We condense from an authen-
tic source the following interesting facts
regarding it:
Twenty years ago the business Of
making dogs biscuit was represented by
small shop in Holborn, nearly opposite
Chancery lane, in London, and there
was weekly sale of only one or two
tons. Now there is vast factory near
London bridge and another in New York;
and the two factories have daily output
and sale of from thirty to forty tons.
"This dog food is made of wheaton
flour-chichy that known as middlings-
oatmeal, dates, beet root, and prairie
meat. Dates were the first article Of o
vegetable or fruity nature introduced,
and have had the anti-scorbutic effect so
desirable in the feeding of dogs.
"For many years dates were the only
addition to the food employed, and at
that time ii was advised that fresh vege-
tables should be given twice week addi-
tional to the biscuits. A searching for
something that would obviate the need
for this addition led to the discovery that
the only vegetable which did not lose its
distinguishing properties under the great
heat to which the cakes are subjected in
baking is beet root; and as it has all the
desirable elements, for some years past
all the biscuits sent ont have contained
beet root.
"The last ingredient is prairie meat,
which is not, as many persons suppose,
tallow, grease or butchers refuse. 1t is
meat from the west and South America.
From it all fat has been removed, but the
most valuable gristle and bones remain to
he ground up and is not only of the best
quality. from n feeding point of view,
but perfectly sweet and good. Analysis
has shown that it is much more nutritious
than the beef usually sold in the butchers
shops, for il contains only five per cent.
of water. Youths Companion.

"Baby Lilo Insurance" Companies.

1t is said that there are over 800, 900
children, between I and 10 years Of age,
who are insured in four "baby life in
surance" companies in the United States.
They are mostly the children of working
men, and the insurance Is usually carried
to defray funeral expenses in case of
death. a baby cannot be insured until
ii attains the age of at least year. The
premium is paid, as rule, weekly, and
is five cents a week in all ases,--Frank

Women EmpIOyed In England.

The number of women employed in
definite occupations in England and
Wales was at the census of 1881 3,403,-
0lS. OF these 1,500,73 were employed
in various industries, constituting little
over one-fourth of the industrial popula-
ton; GA, $40 were engaged in agriculture
and 1,545, 1902 were domestic servants.
"A Woman" writing on this subject in
The Pail Mall Gazette says: Domestic
service is perfectly womanly occupa-
ton, because it implies that complete
surrender of liberty and that subordina-
ton to another's will which are the
brightest jewels of the female crown, but
even here woman's nferiority is duly
marked by lower wages, the butler being
more highly paid than the housekeeper,
the valet than the lady's maid, the chef
than the-why the word has not even
feminine-we are obliged to say the
female cook. The remaining women who
are paid for their work are employed in
teaching, nursing, laundry and other
minor occupations. Outside these are
Ass, DOS women who are 'unoccupied'
that is, unpaid-and of whom the
census report says that they are mostly
married and employed in domestic and
other work. AS these do not render SER
vice for pecuniary remuneration we are
not here concerned with them, save to
note that the women who gain their own
livelihood number but 900, 900 less than
their SO called more fortunate sisters. "

A Little Girl Burned to Death.

NEWMAN, III, Sept. 10.-A 4-year-old
daughter of Nick Bruhn, German
farmer living nine miles north of this
city, was burned to death. Mrs.
Bruhn was doing the family washing,

TOLL ON.

Ono little motto shakes the world,
AS tempests rock the sea;
Victory it means to those who strive.
"Ouldst thou the conqueror DO?
Wouldst enter into richest fields
The eye ere gazed upon?
TO all give the countersign-
IT'S but the words: Toll on"
Vet, by those words the mightiest deeds
The weakest hands have wrought,
Conquests the grandest have been won
On battlefield of thought.
Motto that nerves the warriors heart
To gaze death face upon;
The lovers vow, the martyrs creed
The nations shield-"Toil on"
Each springing bud obeys the power
That bids it cleave the dust;
Coward and up" all nature cries;
strength, strength to toll and trust"
The trees climb high, the swallows soar,
The pillows rise and roll
On, too, faint heart; thy zeal shall spread,
Like flame from soul to soul.
Toll on! guard every golden hour
Fat fast the moments fly.
Look! thou shalt see ladder set
Between the earth and sky.
Good deeds shall give thee strength to rise
And scale each shining round,
While angels lead thy spirit up
And on to holier ground.
Toll on shun pleasures siren call;
Rest not in slothful ease.
II thou wouldst win the victors crown,
Seek not such joys as these.
Then grid thyself for noble strife,
The worlkmans armor don;
Press to thy task in glorious zeal
Toll on lin faith-toil on.

REMAINS OF A VOLCANO.
Prof. Davis Interesting Discovery in the
Connecticut Valley.


Connecticut Valley.
The recent discovery of the re-
mains cf volcano near Mount Lamen-
tation, the highest peak in the chain of
the Meriden hills. has excited the keen
est interest in scientific circles. 1t has
furnished a new key to the geological
history of the Connecticut valley. The
discovery was made by Prof. w. N.
Davis, of Harvard University. He has
been engaged in making an exhaustive
study of the trap-rock of this State,
and he made his happy discovery of
volcanic ruins while searching for an
entirely different class of geological
phenomena.
Mount Lamentation has been visited
by large numbers of people during the
past weeks. The various scientific as
sociations of the State. and several
biologists of national repute. have
carefully examined the interesting
curiosity. No volcanic cone or crater
is still visible, but the phenomena of the
place clearly indicate that in the triassic
age violent explosive eruptions Of a
regular volcanic type were frequent.
Biologists have long known that the
trap-rock of the Connecticut valley
came up in molten condition and
afterward soliditied. This liquid mass
sometimes oyerfowed the surface like
lava streams, and was subsequently
covered up by strata of sandstone.
Prot Davis has discovered what is
technically known as an ash-bcd. 1t
is Il deposit formed when molten lava!
is thrown high into the air by violent
explosions, and comes down in con-
fused mass, coarse and fine. In the
triassic period when these eruptions oc-
Cured there must have been regular
cones and craters of the usual type.
but these have all been effaced. 1t is
very probable that other ash-beds may
exist in the range of Mcriden hills
The geological history Of this region
has always afforded rich field for
scientific research, and the recent vol
canic discovery has given n greater
scientific boom to it. - MtddletoWa
